Environmental

Environmental law is challenging, complex and requires skilled attorneys to yield positive results. The attorneys at Rhodes Hieronymus are equipped and experienced to handle matters involving environmental litigation, including issues of contamination of groundwater, contamination arising from “green technology” or products, as well as allegations of sick building syndrome and mold contamination involving commercial, residential, industrial, governmental, condominium complexes, condo-apartment conversions, planned developments, school districts and university housing, including those arising out of the oil and gas sector.

We defend against common-law and statutory toxic tort claims for damage to real property and personal injury, litigating many novel legal issues in Oklahoma. When faced with potential environmentally-related claims, it’s good to know that you have a team of attorneys with extensive environmental regulation and litigation experience standing by.
